Uninterrupted Filtering
Unsurpassed Performance
A producer of bagels and specialty breads decides the
Ronningen-Petter DCF Mechanically-Cleaned filter is the perfect
fit for its bagel boiler water filtration process.

SITUATION
A Canadian bread company was putting a new bagel boiler in
its Alberta plant and required a filtering system to clean the
recycled boiler water of raisins, sesame seeds, bits of dough
and corn meal. Corn meal can create water quality problems if
the temperature is allowed to fall, requiring an expensive and
time consuming water change. It is critical that the water in a
bagel boiler be kept up to temperature, even as it is filtered
and recycled.
The company was using duplex bag filters in its bagel Increased operator safety: Less operator intervention
